How does one catch up after an absence of five years? How does one begin to reconstruct such a large chunk of the past? One minor history, in a sea of histories. The Internet is so much bigger now than it was when I first started this blog in 2005, the holes down which Alice might fall so vast and labyrinthine, the recorded histories of individual lives piling up to rival the towers of Babel. One increasingly needs a compass simply to navigate the day.
I am back, but what can I say to sum up the last five years? Some sweeping statement of lessons learned. I'd like to offer you that, but I don't have it. I can't find the words.
